Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Abita Springs, LA.

If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a regular school or work schedule. Some programs may provide ways to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detox treatement. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Abita Springs is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
